Read last week's installment here.
August 8
So I found out Prince Charming is moving back to TN, like next weekend! His ex-wife is moving back and taking their daughters so he’ll have to go to be able to see them. Of course this has to happen when the chemistry between me and this guy is INSANE. We laugh almost nonstop. We did have a weird thing the other night: he literally walked out on me during sex. Anyway, we got over that and have had no further troubles in that department.
I am seriously considering trying to find a way to move with him! I still have a little over a year on my Air Force enlistment, but I could maybe transfer into the Air National Guard; they have bases in every state. It would be a hard sell to the kids’ dad, though, I doubt he will let them go without a fight. But I mean, the thought of ever being without my Prince Charming makes me physical ill! I know it’s early and I barely know him, but sometimes you just really connect with someone and you know its right. Right? For now, I am just going to enjoy the time we have, I guess.
August 14
My Prince Charming left for Tennessee today. Last night I had tickets to see The Killers at the Cotillion, but we got to the parking lot and he was really bummed that I would rather spend our last night together in a noisy concert than someplace quiet with him. So we skipped it, but it was worth it to spend every minute in his arms. How am I going to go to work today?
Sept 10
Sorry to neglect you guys, I’m sure you’ve been on the edge of your seats wondering how it’s going, haha. Since Prince Charming moved, I’ve been to visit him every other weekend (when the ex has the kiddos). He’s been having fun connecting with old friends, and he even got to play with Rascal Flatts at their concert the other night! He called me as soon as it was over, he said he really wished I had been there. It’s been really hard trying to work this long-distance thing; his ex-wife cheated on him so he’s really insecure and worries about me a lot. We got into a fight the other night because I went out to sing karaoke and I wasn’t answering my phone. Not on purpose, but the bar was loud and I didn’t hear it. He left me a ton of voicemails accusing me of not wanting to be with him and being with another guy. And they say chicks are the needy ones! I reassured him, and everything is ok now.
One odd thing did happen last week when he came back to visit. I went to KC to pick him up from the airport and he was SUPER moody. And all of a sudden, he pulls off to the side of the turnpike, nearly hysterical, like hyperventilating. He starts talking about his oldest daughter, K. He was so distraught I thought he was going to tell me she was terminally ill or something. Well, he tells me that she is not actually his ex-wife’s kid. He didn’t want to go into detail, but I guess she is from a prior short-term relationship when he was in the Air Force? And get this: she lives in KS with her mom. This whole time, one of his kids has been in KS and he’s been acting like they were both in TN with his ex and it was such a hardship to be away from them. But guys, you should have seen how embarrassed he was that he’d had a kid when he was so young and not married. He was terrified to tell me because he thought I would judge him, or judge his daughter. I was like, “I’m more upset that you didn’t tell the truth to begin with!” So the bright side is that I get to meet K soon and he’ll be able to get her on weekends and stuff. She’s a couple years older than Bug, I’m excited!
September 20
So we’re all ready to move PC back to Kansas and we found a little house to rent. It’s kind of in the ghetto, but it’s what we can afford until he gets a job back here. And I’d live in a cardboard box with him if I had to, I swear to god. Anyway, we move in on the first!
He’s going to try to get his old job back. Military wages are definitely never going to make me rich, haha. Only one more year, though, until I can launch into the civilian world and decide what I really want to be when I grow up. And then: Happily Ever After!
Next week we find out who's being smothered and why PC might not understand the concept of "honesty..."
